For what it's worth, HJC scored better in real world testing for a helmetin Sportrider I believe.  As you know, Adam, I did TONS of research when I got my first Arai.  Just make sure it fits her head right and is comfy!

Basically any DOT or Snell approved helmet will give you a comparable amount of protection. The real difference comes when you're talking about build quality and protection; which makes the difference between a 60 mile ride, and a 500 mile one.

Thanks for the reiteration!      

Good fitting, nice people, excellent selection of Dianese, Ducati and Revett. See Pat at Seacoast Sport Cycle in Derry NH. Nice bikes too.
